Glasgow, MT DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical examination, mandated by the Department of Transportation, is essential for all commercial motor vehicle drivers. This thorough checkup confirms that drivers are capable of operating large vehicles safely on public roads, both physically and mentally. Conducted by certified medical professionals listed in the National Registry, successfully passing this exam grants drivers the DOT medical certificate. This certificate is necessary for keeping a valid CDL license according to FMCSA standards.
